favorite australian films?

Dogs In Space

Michael Hutchenson dies of a heroine over dose in the film & then in real life some years later he does the same.

A must see

 

beneath clouds definetly..i didnt realy like lantana..but some other good ones are,somersault and candy

 

I liked;

-> Wolf Creek

->Fortress

-> Rabbit-Proof Fence

-> The Pino

 

oops.. *The Piano

 

I love Australian cinema! My favourite movies are: Picnic at Hanging Rock, Gallipoli, The Last Wave by Peter Weir, Walkabout by Nicolas Roeg, Spider & Rose by Bill Bennett

 

I love the film Beneath Clouds (i cried at the end). rabbit proof fence(this also made me cry) Japanese Story(also made me cry) and were doing lantana for english in school. chopper was good too. and most of the others already mentioned.

I didn't realize i cry this much for movies.

 

rabbit proof fence
the rage in placid lake
the castle
candy
the proposition
the magician

 

The Rage In Placid Lake
Kiss or Kill
The Hard Word

 

Yeah for the Castle, Bad Boy Bubby, Two Hands and a whole bunch more.

Just to be pedantic though - The Piano was set in New Zealand and directed by a New Zealander (Jane Campion). It's a New Zealand film. And we are a whole different country than Australia (no matter what you've heard)

 

yeah wow i didnt realise how many fantastic movies we aussies make! moonbeam, how could i forget bad boy bubby, what a crazy movie!
u guys mentioned most of my faves, including picnic at hanging rock and walkabout. Another fantastic more recent one is Ten Canoes, the first feaure film in traditional language. A must see.
I have seen a couple of absolute Australian duds lately, which made me feel almost embarassed. 48 Shades, and Josh Jarman, anyone seen them? so very cringe-worthy.

 

Rolf de Heer's works are truly amazing. I highly recommend Bad boy bubby, Alexanda's Project and The Tracker to anyone interested in Australian cinema.

i loved 48 shades.
but most of the time our accents annoy me on screen. dunno why.

 

I agree. I think it's because a lot of the time the actors make their accents really strong on screen, so as to appeal to the international market, even though no one talks like that anymore.

The last good local film I saw was Noise. It was beatifully shot, and the ending was brilliant.

 

My FAVOURITE would be Priscilla, but there's a ton of great ones. Muriel's Wedding is hilarious too. I love so many great Aussie actors! Especially Guy Pearce and Geoffrey Rush.

 

Picnic at Hanging Rock

 

Walkabout


Hotwater

 

i liked"ned kelly"it was made about 1970.it takes place in ausatralia but i'm not sure it an australian film.mick jagger played the title role.some very good music by waylon jennings and kris kristoferson.jagger sang a song it a traditional ballad as i recall.
